For example:
Download this ZIP file: http://dslstats.me.uk/files/dslstats32W-6.5.zip
Everything in the ZIP file is in a directory “dslstats32W-6.5”.
However when I extract using right click “Extract Here” the name of the directory created is “2W-6.5” !
I am running PA 22.00.09 on Windows 11. I have seen the same happen with some other kinds of archive too.
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!
If I compress a folder to a .pa using right click, Compress to folder.pa and use the new Windows 11 menu then the Options, Configuration, Miscellaneous, Use normal relative path setting is always enabled.
But I like this option disabled so I have to use the old style menu in order to get PA to compress a folder in the way I wish.
Just tried using the Modern (Windows 10) Icon set and seeing a few missing icons in both PowerArchiver Burner and PowerArchiver Encryption screens . They are all there in the Minimalistik icon set and the only difference I can see is the former is blue and the latter grey. In version 22.00.9

PA 22.00.09 shows a nag screen, when I try to open some setting windows. I have already PA 2023 Toolbox and PA shows, that it’s licensed in the info dialog.

I’m looking forward to deploying PowerArchiver 2023 to my users. Can you tell us when the MSI will be available for download and distribution?
Thanks.
Hi there,
there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:

https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1164/
As it seems, that PowerArchiver and PACL use the 7zip libraries, could you please update them to the latest version?
Hi,
From where I get PAVD2023.EXE? PowerArchiver 2023 tries to open it.
But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.
Thanks
I noticed that the version of ZPAQ used is older than the latest released 7.15 https://mattmahoney.net/dc/zpaq.html also there seems to be a newer fork that adds several features https://github.com/fcorbelli/zpaqfranz
It would be useful to implement this latest version (it also maintains the same syntax and behavior as the latest official release if used the -715 flag) and add when opening a zpaq file a choice of the version of the files to show (e.g. as dummy folders represented the various versions present). Since any previous changes are stored with this format, it is possible to extract a snapshot of a certain date/version.
If I open a password-protected zipper file (created with WinRAR but I think that’s irrelevant), open it with PowerArchiver and run “Remove Encryption” on the same file, then reopen it and add a password with “Encrypt Archive,” the resulting archive will be protected with the old ZipCrypto algorithm and not AES as indicated.
(this can be verified, for example, by trying to open the archive files with Windows Explorer, which does not support the AES algorithm)
PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
Discovered:
a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files.
Freezing when opening some RAR files
-
Once again, I have to stop using PowerArchiver. This time around, the deal-breaker is that it freezes when opening RAR files on my system. And not corrupt RAR files, either: WinRAR can open, test, and extract the same files just fine.
No, I can’t provide samples. And sorry, I won’t be around for follow-ups. I’ve got to believe the association with FileForum is what keeps this boat afloat. (Yeah, some people do know about that little secret.)

no offense but you are stupid winrar create the unrar.dll file and that is ehat is causeing the problem not pa. They make shaw that there dll opens most of there files but not all so that they still have the lead on rar files. They update there rar format quicker than there dll file that other vendors use. Pa has far more features like 7zip than winrar and works better eg. its iunterface and encryption capabilities. I have not found a program with so much support winrar is useless if you test it its zip support / compression is not up to pa’s. I have tried winrar and found it to be slugish on anything other than rar files. it can not openm certain cab files nor can it work on some zip files with special characters. I’m not rubishing winrar buts its interface its rar format is outdated and you can get better features with par files and 7zip together and i know that pa are going to implement par support very soon so pa will have a recovery option to all archive files.
You must work for winrar as you keep saying its better. I have done some investigation on your posts and its all rar rar rar. I know that some other vendor go to other vendors sites and critise them so bog off you. If you can’t tell the truth or even post proof of the rar files then it proves you work for winrar.

Since nameless is an Alpha tester, can I take his place after he’s left ? :)

you can become alpha tester no matter what. Just send me an email when you want and I will let you in :-).
Dont worry about him, he will come back eventually, he always does :-).
He just gets angered quickly… If someone elses notices problem with RAR files, please let us know… We have few alpha testers that do a lot of unraring daily and I use it a lot and nobody reported any issues that are similar to this onethanks,
